So if a zealous power tripping mod wants to hide their bans, all they have to do is not give a reason for the bans?

Well ackshually <<std::endl is not the preferred way to do it according to the C++ Core Guidelines https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#Rio-endl

So to be a good little lemming I've added a \n, but I refuse to flush!

The best book I've ever bought on programming, and the second best book I bought for a class in uni, was https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.5555/1824214 it may be worth checking out on libgen and buy if it suits your needs.

Whenever I do low-level programming on the AVR architecture, I'll make a memory map. As in I'll map out where I'll put what. It may not be suitable for more complex programs, but it does the job for me. And it has enabled teamwork in assembly in the past.

If you want to work in a language that doesn't offer memory management, but manually mapping memory isn't feasible either, how about building your own memory management? Or perhaps use an RTOS? I've used freeRTOS before on various arm-based micros, and it does take a bit to get started, but after that it's easy sailing.

Sorry for the following tangent, all semi intelligent content in this comment is found above this line.
BTW I tried CoOS once, I wouldn't recommend it... OK it was 12 years ago, I can't remember exactly what was wrong other than the documentation was crap, but I don't need to remember why to hold a grudge.

#include <iostream> // because writing to the console is not included by default.
int main()
{
std::cout << "C++ is simple and fun ... you cretin\n";
return 0;
}

I had a machine language course in uni, parallel with a C++ course. Not a fun semester to be my wife, or a relative of any of my classmates. Best case our brains were in C++ mode, worst case you needed an assembler to understand us.

And yes I know my code format will piss people off, I don't care, it's the way I write when other less informed people don't force me to conform to their BS "Teh oPeNiNg bracket shouwd bwee on teh sam line ass teh declawation"

Edit: added a \n for the sake of pedantry :)

I didn't see the capitalism bad part, but I agree, I also think we should seize the means of production and crush the bourgeoisie.

If you want to get published you've got to sound the part. No fancy words => no publishing => no grant money => less sciencing and more flipping burgers

You're the one who got mad that I didn't know that you live in China. You hadn't told me, or given me any clues. I mean there's 1.450 billion people who speak English either natively or as second language. 10 million of those live in China. That means there's a 99.3% chance that a random English speaker doesn't live in China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population

But do go on, keep staying pissed at me for something you misunderstood. I never said that you (as in you, not one) or anyone else for that matter, should not buy a Chinese EV. I said that I wouldn't, and gave my reasons why. In the meantime, while you stay pissed, I'll continue to not own a Chinese EV, maybe while telling my students about what happened in early summer 1989 on Tiananmen Square, and how Winnie the Poo is treating the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

A twelve year old who stabs another twelve year old 19 times is outside of normal.

I agree, it is not normal.

I’d be fine with executing anyone who does that,|...]

You must American, most of the civilized world would show compassion and try to help the preteen.

[...] at any age,[...]

You would be fine with executing a 5yo who had a temper tantrum and stabbed their friend? You'd probably have to do it yourself, would you still be fine with it then? How would you like to do it? With a gun, or would you poison the 5yo?

[...] unless it’s in self defense.

OK, you're definitely American, nobody but Americans have this distorted an idea of self-defense. Stabbing someone 19 times is never self-defense.

If you don't mind me asking, do you consider yourself a religious person? If yes, what faith?

As I indicated by using first person singular in my comment, I was talking about me. What car you (second, singular) get is up to you.

While I did write "If a car has the option of spying on you[...]", I hope my usage of "you" as an informal pronoun was clear. I do realize that I could have used the word "one" instead, or rewritten the sentence entirely. I wrote like I speak, and I unfortunately do not speak like an English professor.

Please remind me, where did you tell me that you live in China?

Meh, why do today what you can put off until it's someone else's problem?

It's not even like you leave for future you, that guy hates you already^1 you leave it for someone entirely unknown. They won't even know who to blame.

^1 Shayne Smith banned from karate reference.

Bummer, superscript doesn't work in any client, does it work for anybody else? Come to think about it, how stupid am I, I've used ^ extensively in this fucking thread smh

I'd buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

Well, good for you. Personally I'm not buying an internet connected Chinese car. If a car has the option of spying on you, and potentially be used in a hybrid attack, I'd prefer to get a car from a western manufacturer. And not Tesla either, Musk is too unstable and seems to be influenced by the same powers that has Trump's ball in a vise.

My current car is an internet connected EV, but it sure isn't Chinese or a Tesla.

That's just inefficiently stupid. Don't burn bridges, burn entire cities.

If you want to go down the blunt force road, don't down vote manually, let a script do that ... for you and your 10 closest alt accounts friends.

If you want to be a bit more sophisticated you have a bot run your alt accounts, commenting with short LLM generated content at random posts. And whenever your mark is active, you use one of these accounts to come at them. Maybe have your replies rewritten by your AI, so you don't give it away by using the same phrases.

You can take it one step further, and analyse your marks interactions. Does a username pop up more than others consistently? Then your mark may have both poor OPSEC and an alt.

Even though three others have chimed in, as OP I'm gonna give it a go as well.

First off, I'm definitely not an expert. My job was mainly to stay with people who had been constrained to their bed, using leather straps. Other times to make sure the patient had as much freedom as possible, without doing certain things. So pretty low level stuff, like talking, minding my own business, and occasionally dodging fecal matter (not figuratively!)

I met adults who had been psychotic since their early teens. And I met people who were admitted on account of a bad reaction to drugs, mainly marijuana, resulting in them being aggressive and delusional. Then the next week they would be calm and rational, behaving like you and me.

I can't tell you what can be treated, and what can't. But I can tell you that I've met people who did stop being psychotic for the rest of their life. And I can tell you that far far most patients were able to, periodically, live somewhat ordinary lives after getting help.

Was the psychiatric hospital meant to rehabilitate her?

If possible, otherwise keep her away from pointy items. Working in psychiatry years ago, I've met people for whom their psychiatric diagnosis was chronic, and whom you could dope all you wanted, but their psychosis never retreated. All you could do was keep them from hurting themselves or others.

Sometimes we need a way to shield individuals from the general public, without it actually being a punishment. Lady in the story sounds like an example.

Yeah, I think most people, myself included at one time, are more fascinated by RO than we understand the practical considerations.

Use RO locally at a single tap in the house, if the water quality warrants it. Perhaps add a desalination unit before the water heater, or centrally if you have some very hard water. But a central RO? Sounds expensive.

I've considered a central RO for prepping purposes, but even then a gravel/sand/active charcoal filter, followed by a UV-C mercury lamp, would probably be more cost effective, and easier to maintain without access to replacement membranes.

Thank you Green Peace /s

Bunch of short sighted uninformed hippies

How about dead SSNs between ‘36 and ‘62?

That's why I extrapolated from the 1962-2018 numbers and came to a total number of 174.4 x 10^6 deaths.

The whole situation is ridiculous if you ask me.

Oh I agree. But it's a classic issue with old databases. We had a similar issue awhile back with license plates in Denmark. The plates had been assigned inefficiently by incrementing parts annually. So we had unused ranges as well as disused plates. But somehow nobody had made a list of these plates.

SSN’s are also given out to immigrants as well though

Oh snap! Thanks for bringing that up. Adding another million each year, and assuming a constant green card rate since before WW2(!), adds another 88 million spent SSNs. With an additional million green cards annually, that makes the calculation (1000-510.3-88)x10^{6 SSNs /4.695 x 10}6 SSNs/year = 85.6 years.

So the US has until about the end of the century to figure it out.

You can actually get a new SSN already, if you have strong cultural or religious issues with your SSN https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02220

So no need to implement a check in software, let the people do it for you.

Oh, I didn't realize that we were in the presence of a connoisseur in the ways of mathematics. /s
